Really? Frank Alexander got better when BJW moved back to DE coach. Now we actually have better talent there with Grissom, Ndulue, and Dimon and DJ Ward. He's a good coach. We had a dry spell. Missed on some big time recruits.

Maybe Patton is a good coach, not recruiter and Kittle is a good recruiter, not coach. Whoever is responsible for Lane Johnson being a first round pick, and I give Lane the credit first, needs a raise.

I think Lane ended up there because there was nowhere else to go. Hell, it could have been Bob that moved him.

BJW is a superb DE coach and recruiter. Odd thing is that he didn't do as well as DB coach, but that was his position when he was at texas all those years.

Lane deserves a ton of credit, but then so do the coaches. Kittle was his position coach. Lane gives lots of credit to Schmitty.

All the players, ex-players give credit to Schmitty. These dumb ass posters on here blame him for knee ligaments. My friend in high school tore his knee playing touch football. Schmitty was nowhere around.

There have been some players who play in the nfl question his techniques.

On a serious note,
When message boarders mention blown out knee ligaments and players questioning techniques they typically imply overtraining; Schmitty's techniques are too intense and at too high of a volume, which relates to the body breaking down (i.e., catabolizing itself). Volume-induced overtraining is a unicorn (i.e., squating too many times per week will cause your legs to breakdown). If some players were/are complaining about the volume or intensity being too high and not seeing gains, feeling weak, or not feeling like working out (forget soreness, being sore means nothing), then the technique could be taxing the nervous system too much, which is not "training the muscle too much."

On a more serious note, this is the 1st serious thing I have ever read from you! WTF...?

i've read a lot of stories about the players eating junk food for most of their careers...if they aren't properly eating then all their work is for naught...i say this because if schmitty is doing these "extreme" workouts and then the kids stop by McDonalds or Pizza Hut they are negating all that hard work.

That's only kind of true. Part of Schmittay's program should be food, nutritious and purposeful food. Eating junk food, as I understand it, won't negate your workout, but it won't provide the optimal state for your body to continue to overreach beyond its current limits. They shouldn't eat that McDonald's horseshit or whatever USAO eats while he's watching WrestleMania...

Of course they have nutrition education as part of the program and the training table diet they receive at the mess hall provides.

But many of the players live off campus and probably consume many of their meals at their homes.

this is why we should have gone to the SEC, oversigning--not a problem, pay the recruits---not a problem, espn constant coverage----not a problem, when Ole MISS, THATS RIGHT OLE fn MISS can get the kind of recruits they haul in with absolutely no chance of conf title let alone nat title in sight ever, imagine what we should be able to do.........sorry just went a little nuts there. it just so damn frustrating to watch these SEC teams pile them up, even the crappy teams.....okay I'm done

Certainly the SEC is the flavor of the year for linemen on both sides of the ball. We'll see how long this lasts.
